1st International Nuclear & Renewable Energy Conference

INREC’10 is the first of a planned series of biennual meetings focusing on the practical aspects of carbon-free energy forms (nuclear and renewables). The meeting covers the synergetic integration of nuclear engineering with electrical power production, coupling to existing power grids and the design of smart grid systems, to intelligent instrumentation and control, and monitoring of processes relevant to radiation safety and nuclear safeguards. Research work addressing other carbon-free energy forms are also welcome.
